    Could Golovkin catch speed demon from Cuba? Canelo couldn't.

    Despite only fighting at MW a couple times in his career and never against ranked MW's, Lara would still be the best scalp on Golovkin's resume.

    I'd pick Golovkin to decision him.

    If Angulo could GGG is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better at cutting off the ring than him and Canelo.

    No doubt.

    I see Ward, Lara and Bradley to be the only guys who have a decent chance of outboxing Golovkin.

    I'd prefer Golovkin Froch to Bradley Golovkin - not due to outboxing, but a more intriguing and I think competitive contest, and a better win for GGG if he did prevail.

    It's actually a good fight, or at least a reasonable one.

    Stylistically at MW the closest is NDNJ (who I'd like to see GGG fight), but if Lara proves himself against a coupla top 10 to 20 MWs I think it'd be a fight that'd make sense.

    Can't see either N'Dam or Lara winning but at least it'd provide a somewhat different oppositional style for GGG.

    If Lara was a JMW/MW Rigo I would see this as being an unmissable fight, but Erislandy ain't.

    I'm not going to waste anyones time with the reasons (and I'm one of those who scored for Lara against Canelo) but I will be willing to bet on a GGG win if anyone fancies offering?

    Lara I can kinda understand - he's a JMW but he comes to ring about the same size as GGG.

    Ward - of course - if he can figure out how to get the hell outta court then he's the only guy most would have as a favourite against Golovkin (at the higher division, it goes without saying).

    Bradley though??? You ...errrr:huh

    Errrrmmm... Huh.

    Bradley vs GGG?

    Would you care to elucidate?


    EDIT. :oops:Sorry - I only just caught your username Assault Joker.

    Would take him 6 to do away with him. Angulo nearly did.

    One word:Speed.

    Bradley is arguably real №1 P4P at the moment considering that Floyd and Pac are ageing and losing their reflexes, and Ward is inactive way too long...

    GGG doesn't look as good vs southpaws. Look at the Ian Gardner fight who took GGG the distance

    Make no mistake, I judge Bradley as a quality fighter and will acknowledge that he may not have fought a smart fight against Provodnikov (though my I think that Provos unexpected pressure may have been his real issue).

    But honestly.. Bradley struggled...barely s****ing by a guy who's recognised as a game, tough, hard hitting but ultimately limited JWW and you see him outboxing a vastly more talented and harder hitting MW?

    Look, I'm not trying to criticise but I simply can't see it. Lara? Yeah... good fight but I have to see Golovkin winning. Ward? Great fight..I see Ward winning. Bradley...? I see WTF .. who organised this joke fight.

    Lara would take the type of beating that shortens a fighter's career.

    That was how long ago? Check the Proksa fight, GGG has no issues with southpaws.

    Lara would shift his running into overdrive.
